Publication number: 20150150081Abstract: Systems and methods are described for enabling users to model security resources and user access keys as resources in a template language. The template can be used to create and update a stack of resources that will provide a network-accessible service. The security resources and access keys can be referred to in the template during both stack creation process and the stack update process. The security resources can include users, groups and policies. Additionally, users can refer to access keys in the template as dynamic parameters without any need to refer to the access keys in plaintext. The system securely stores access keys within the system and allows for templates to refer to them once defined. These key references can then be passed within a template to resources that need them as well as passing them on securely to resources like server instances through the use of the user-data field.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2015Publication date: May 28, 2015Applicant: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: AVINASH JAISINGHANI, RETO KRAMER, CHRISTOPHER WHITAKER, VENKATES P.

Patent number: 9043502Abstract: A portable or mobile computing device, such as a smart phone or portable media player, can be used to control one or more electronic devices over an appropriate wireless channel. In one example, a user can utilize a smart phone as a mouse for a notebook computer or Internet-capable television. The user can move the portable device on a surface and press appropriate selectable elements on the portable device, as if the user is using a wireless mouse. The portable device can send the commands over the wireless channel to the electronic device, which can provide inputs and/or control signals to the electronic device. In some embodiments, the user can take advantage of the processing capability of the portable device to work directly with elements such as a wireless keyboard and wireless monitor, without the need for a notebook or other such computing element therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2013Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Bradley J.

Patent number: 9041958Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores therein a distributed printing control program executed in a system to perform distributed printing by outputting a specified number of sets of paper sheets by using plural image forming apparatuses, where the number of the sets is instructed by a job. The program causes an apparatus belonging to the system to function as a control section. The control section divides the job into plural jobs, where each of the jobs causes one of the image forming apparatuses to eject plural sets of paper sheets shifted in alternate directions such that, when sets of paper sheets ejected by the plural image forming apparatuses are stacked up together, all the sets of paper sheets are shifted in alternate directions to enable each of the sets to be separated from others. The control section further subjects the divided jobs to the plural image forming apparatuses.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2012Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: KONICA MINOLTA BUSINESS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Kazuhisa Kishimoto, Yasuyuki Kamai

Patent number: 9041689Abstract: A computing device and/or application executing on the device can utilize fingertip tracking using a camera. However, when the fingertip is in a dead zone (an area that is not viewable by the camera), the fingertip tracking cannot function properly. Nevertheless, the position of the fingertip, when in the dead zone, can still be estimated. An image of a user's hand can be captured by at least one camera. A portion of a pointing finger can be detected in the captured image. An orientation of the portion of the pointing finger can be determined. One or more joint lines of the pointing finger can be identified. Based on data about a slant and/or a bend of the pointing finger obtained using information relating to the identified joint line(s), and/or on data obtained via calibration and/or historic/current usage, the position of the fingertip, when in the dead zone, can be approximated.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2012Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Dong Zhou, Isaac S. Noble

Patent number: 9043580Abstract: A microprocessor capable of running both x86 instruction set architecture (ISA) machine language programs and Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) ISA machine language programs. The microprocessor includes a mode indicator that indicates whether the microprocessor is currently fetching instructions of an x86 ISA or ARM ISA machine language program. The microprocessor also includes a plurality of model-specific registers (MSRs) that control aspects of the operation of the microprocessor. When the mode indicator indicates the microprocessor is currently fetching x86 ISA machine language program instructions, each of the plurality of MSRs is accessible via an x86 ISA RDMSR/WRMSR instruction that specifies an address of the MSR. When the mode indicator indicates the microprocessor is currently fetching ARM ISA machine language program instructions, each of the plurality of MSRs is accessible via an ARM ISA MRRC/MCRR instruction that specifies the address of the MSR.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2012Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: VIA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: G.

Patent number: 9043421Abstract: Each server in a server group of a data center can run a data collection agent. The agent can collect data from a respective server in the server group. The data can include a performance characteristic (i.e., performance data) associated with the respective server. If the performance characteristic falls outside an allowable range, the agent can broadcast this information to other agents at other servers in the server group. If the other agents at the other servers in the server group detect a similar performance characteristic outside the allowable range, they can broadcast as well. If there is a sufficiently high quantity of broadcasts, then that can indicate a high likelihood that there is a potential problem with respect to servers in the server group. The problem can be reported to the central controller, which can then handle the problem appropriately (e.g., issue an alarm, contact support technician, etc.).Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Aaron Joseph Coon, Michael David Marr

Patent number: 9041734Abstract: Image information displayed on an electronic device can be modified based at least in part upon a relative position of a user with respect to a device. Mapping, topological or other types of positional data can be used to render image content from a perspective that is consistent with a viewing angle for the current relative position of the user. As that viewing angle changes, as a result of movement of the user and/or the device, the content can be re-rendered or otherwise updated to display the image content from a perspective that reflects the change in viewing angle. Simulations of effects such as parallax and occlusions can be used with the change in perspective to provide a consistent user experience that provides a sense of three-dimensional content even when that content is rendered on a two-dimensional display. Lighting, shading and/or other effects can be used to enhance the experience.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2011Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Howard D. Look, Leo B. Baldwin, Kenneth M. Karakotsios, Dennis Hodge, Isaac S. Noble, Volodymyr V. Ivanchenko, Jeffrey P. Bezos
